This is "The Nose," one of the most famous walls of El Capitan. Google partnered with three world-renowned rock climbers, Lynn Hill, Alex Honnold, and Tommy Caldwell, for this project.

Its new vertical Street View allows users to literally click their way up El Capitan, all the way to the top, which is more than 3,000 feet high.

The camera crew had to climb together, right behind the three climbers, for this project.

"Doing anything thousands of feet high on a sheer granite face is complicated, but everyone up there had spent years of their lives on a rope and knew exactly what they were doing," Caldwell wrote in a blog post.

It’s a beautiful day.

That’s Alex Honnard. He climbs mostly “free solo,” meaning he only uses his hands and feet. In fact, he’s best known for climbing rock walls with no ropes to protect him if he falls.

We’re at the 400-foot point of the wall, barely scratching the surface.

This is Honnold at a section called the "Stovelegs," 930 feet above ground.

Honnold uses a technique called “jamming,” where he sticks his hands and feet right into a crack.

This is El Capitan at night. It’s 1,150 feet above ground.

There’s no bathroom so climbers have to carry a poop can, like that white bucket in the red circle.

This is Honnold pulling a trick called a “chimney technique,” where he uses his entire body to climb up the wall, 1,400 feet above the ground.

This place is called the “Great Roof,” which is one of the most difficult parts of the entire route. You have to dip your fingers into the tiny crack to get through.

Climbers carry this chalk bag to keep their fingers dry and get a good grip on the rock.
